B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!
I loved it! I loved it! I loved it!
It was amazing! Oh god, Irene is so... IRENE!
I almost cried as well when Sherlock's father broke his violin. I mean, HIS VIOLIN. The only thing he loved just as much as he loved John! It was so sad!
But I hope Jawn gets the Stradivarius for him in the future.
Anyways, I'm reading the next chapters! It's a lovely story!
Now, let's see what happens with Sarah. *whispers 'Divorce! Divorce! Express Divorce!'* xD

Greetings, greetings! xx

GWAD! It was beautiful, flawless... Amazing! Brilliant! Genius!
I loved it... badly.
So I'll try to pull myself back together and go read the next chapter.

OH...MY...SWEET...GOD!
This chapter was far too beautiful! I totally loved it!
Excuse my intermittent reading. But know I'm following this brilliant story till the very end!
I'm loving it! Seriously. Thanks for writing it.
So, I will be reading the next chapters and hopefully remember to remind you just how gleeful this fanfic makes me feel!

MarRushionerGleek chapter 5 . 1/2/2015
OH MY GOODNESS!
This chapter...! My heart has been ripped off! Poor Sherly of ours!
Oww, that was way to much for him to take. I just wanted to hug him tight and pat his curls.
I was glad he found Jawn just in time and that he made the pain away for a little while.
Now, there is this love-hate feeling towards Jim. He's like... such a git! Yet I love him. But he did deserve that punch in the face (hope his pretty nose is fine, so far). Proud of Sherlawk for doing so!
But Johnny-boy's right, he should have told him about Jim's taunting.
John is so lovable! I hope he doesn't be that bad with Sherlock at detention.
The more I read the more I'm loving the story! It's brilliant!

So, going through the next chapters already... ;)
Happy New Year, btw!

Greetings! xx

Hello there! :)
Don't know if I've left a review in here - I really can't recall having done so, so I apologize. I usually do that, but I've read your story like barely pausing to catch my breath.
I must say I'm really loving it, honestly! It is quite brilliant!

I enjoy reading Teen!lock, and even more such a good one. Teacher!John came to be a very interesting thing to read. I still don't like Sarah that much, but Poppy is just fine.
Sherlock and Mycroft's relationship is just so feels-ily perfect! And every fact you've created on Sherly's live in the I'm adoring this!

Ow, poor Molly. I feel kind of bad for her being always rejected but I will never ship her with Sherlock. He's all Jawn's. ;3
So, I'll be reading the next chapters and likely leaving another comment throughout.
Thanks for sharing this fanfic of yours with us!

And Happy new year, btw!
Greetings! xx

Fantastic story
sumthin.clever.5 chapter 26 . 10/25/2013
Word and chapter count hardly matter. I've read a fic with 83 chapters. I believe it had 400K words or so. I also read a fic with 50 chapters and like 200K words. Both excellent fics. If the story is good enough, people will read, despite word or chapter count.

He's pulled in on himself? I'm going to need Sarah to grow the balls to leave him.

He's pissing me off again. You made your choice. Deal with it. I can already see he's likely to go after Sherlock. And Sarah is retarded if she thinks having a baby with a man that barely loves her (and certainly not the way she deserves) is going to make him stay. That's the problem with a lot of females lately. :/

If Sherlock is going to turn into an outright junkie, I will have trouble reading . I have a problem with drugs and reading this last scene gave me a headache. I don't think I like where this is going. x.x
sumthin.clever.5 chapter 25 . 10/25/2013
It's a shame Sarah is acting that way, because that's probably exactly what she thinks. She wasn't good enough to him. Wasn't woman enough for him so he had to look elsewhere. He can say that's not the case all he wants, but that fear, that knowledge will always be in the back of her head.

Gads. They're almost certain to be overheard. I'd have thrown a few bills down for the beer and left. How bloody embarrassing.

The coat! :D! And I thought Mycroft had already gotten him the famed scarf. He got him some scarf before, anyway. As a Christmas gift, I believe.

Ummm, you're starting this now, one chapter away from the end of the fic? Really?
sumthin.clever.5 chapter 24 . 10/25/2013
Ugh. What will Sherlock say when John doesn't stop him from leaving? x.x That's going to be painful.

Finally some got slapped, someone got physical. All this tension with no action was bugging me.

He's not good enough for Sarah, either, just so he knows.

Honestly, I can't stand those self-sacrificial types that think only of themselves when giving up something, especially when it involves others. What about everyone else it affects? What about how they feel? Why is it that only what you think best counts?

Darn. I was so hoping Sarah was going to rip him a new one. /

I think he forgot about the skull again. But I'd hate to think he's smash that or something, so maybe it's better off forgotten. Shame about the aeroplane, though. But fitting.
sumthin.clever.5 chapter 23 . 10/25/2013
I've always loved your Mycroft. His only fault is that he left Sherlock in an abusive house. He knew that their father hit him, yet he let him stay. Beyond that, he's golden in my eyes. And now the pulling strings thing. Even better.

I'd just like to mention that if Mycroft had taken Sherlock to London (or Oxford) with him (which is the something else he certainly could have done, while he's contemplating what else he might have done to help his brother), he could have prevented all of this. He'd likely have never met John.

Ummmm. I was with Mycroft until he started talking about Sherlock had it easy. I suppose he doesn't understand the point to which Sherlock was abused. I might forgive him. But he better come correct real soon.

Okay. I see he doesn't know. But I expect some SWIFT action as soon as it's known.

Ah. His best interests. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Finally! Mycroft realizes he should have taken Sherlock with him. I've been saying that for the LONGEST!
You know I had to stop reading halfway through their father's speech, right? I was sure a headache was coming on. And to tell Mycroft he used his riding crop to beat Sherlock, in Mycroft's honor. Gads. x.x

Why is it that no one wants to hit him for what he did? I was just so sure Mycroft would get angry enough to actually punch him. But I suppose shock is reasonable, too. / But I admit it. I want to see him hurt. -.-

Ugh. We were getting somewhere, Mycroft. Deciding John must have just taken advantage of Sherlock's fragility was a backstep. And a huge assumption.

'If you get in my way I will crush you, I will tell your wife, the authorities, the school the police everyone. If you keep me from Sherlock I will destroy you.' This was sexy as all hell. You said John was a BAMF when he confronted Sherlock's father, but Mycroft is the real BAMF. And he did it in such a Moriarty way that I just... *fans self*. Yeah. That was hot. Respect. Back up.

At least John doesn't deny what he's done. And he doesn't back down for a moment there. And I'm glad he stands by his word of loving Sherlock. It may not save him, but it is a redeeming quality.
sumthin.clever.5 chapter 22 . 10/25/2013
Surely that felt something akin to an ending to Sherlock. Felt like it to me.

Ah Irene. I'd like her to know that's sexual harassment at its highest and grounds for termination.

I admit. I forgot all about the hickey. It was that inconsequential, even to me. (Though Sherlock sitting still long enough for her to make it might say something.) But oh, this is delicious. I'm so glad it came into play! :D!

"He was a genius yes, but when it came to John he seemed to loose the ability to think. John was a glitch, a bug in his hard drive." Maybe my third favorite quote of the fic. It's just so darn true, of both this fic and canon.

I'm afraid John just went down a bit in my man-o-meter. It's well and good to be mad and jealous. But crying over this seemed a bit extreme. And I'm not saying men can't cry. This situation just didn't seem to warrant it.

Like I said. Ain't shit ending.

Ooooh, Irene. Since I love her usual unflappableness, this jealousy is quite unbecoming. But ooh. I like her form of vengeance. :D! It’s about to get real.
sumthin.clever.5 chapter 21 . 10/25/2013
I have to take a happy breather to prepare myself for the devastation that I fully hope will lie ahead. [: ...You have me wondering whether or not I'm a sadist. xD!

He wishes he could turn back the clock, huh? To what point? Being attracted to Sherlock? Making a move on Sherlock? Lying to his wife? Cheating on his wife? Or just being caught? I think we all know the answer to that one.

All during John's inner monologue, I'm just thinking the uproar is going to be fabulous. I CANNOT wait for his world to crumble down. And if you gloss over any of the destruction, I'm going to be annoyed. He deserves what he gets. And my smile at his inner torment...well, I never claimed to be a saint, did I?

It actually pisses me off that he treated Sherlock that way right then. Like it was all his fault. Like John hadn't been compliant each step of the way. And saying he hadn't planned any of this. Pah. You planned a weekend getaway to London, lest we forget. You perfected sneaking around and lying. You are just as big a participant as Sherlock, and just as guilty. Probably more since you're more than old enough to know better. And then just leaving the boy (might I repeat BOY) there in the street, rejected and dejected. His sins do nothing but pile up.

Can I say again that I love the build up before the fall? During Greg's inner turmoil, I'm smiling and kicking my feet in happy contentment. Yes. This is what I have been waiting for. Finally. Justice.

"It was strangely voyeuristic, Greg thought, to watch on as a man's life imploded." This is my absolute favorite line of the entire fic so far. Second would have to be Sherlock's realization that John loved him or whatever it was. That he was lucid. It was so clear he could almost see his reflection in it. That he could build their relationship on the certainty of it. That was a sexy bit of writing. But since I like things that explode, especially this very deserving something, this is sexier.

I'd like to note again that the age of consent in John and Sherlock's case is actually 18, not 17 (according to Wikipedia, anyway).

I'm with Greg. Midlife crisis. Final verdict.

Ah, Greg. I knew that was going to happen, but it's so anticlimactic. I NEED Sarah to find out! And ending it? How's Sherlock going to take it? Not well, is my guess. I'm thinking nothing is about to end.
